preservation of connexin43

From:

psutton3@uwo.ca

I was wondering if anyone knew how long connexin43 is preserved in
paraffin-embedded tissues. I am just learning immunohistochemistry and am
working with old tissues (about 10 years old) and I am not getting any results.
Could it be that the antigen has simply not been preserved?
